Dodgers: Penny pitched into the seventh inning in his outing against the Pirates on Saturday, but his command in the early going cost him his fourth win of the season. Penny walked three batters in the third inning and struggled to locate his fastball early in the game. Penny is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA against the Giants this season.

Giants: There were some questions surrounding Ortiz in Spring Training, but three weeks into the season he has managed to erase most of the concerns. The veteran picked up his second win of the season against Arizona on Friday, allowing two runs on eight hits in seven innings. Ortiz didn't have the most successful outing in a loss against the Dodgers on April 7, giving up three runs on seven hits in five innings.
